I Am Lonely

I'm 21 and the only guy I dated was a prom-king type jog, dont ask me how I managed to date that kind of guy, it lasted about a month. Other than that I was alone, I usually dont feel the pressure of being alone, but lately my family started talking about marriage, like I need a man to be happy. Well, maybe no wants me or I dont want anyone?! Anyways sometimes I let this get through to me, like now. I just crave for someone to understand and love me with all of me; my twisted mind and weird sense of humor.

21 is still young. There are a lot of guys out there. There are a lot of things to learn and ideas to explore. It is normal for you family to care about you and start thinking about that, especially if they are married and like it. They just want the best for you.

There is a guy out there who loves your humor. It is a big world. Perhaps he isn't want you expect, but perhaps he loves you truly.

@heherhelp: It is not, as many who have found it will confirm. However, sometimes love finds you when you are not looking for it.

@heherhelp: I think the belief that there is one is a scam. There are many with home you could make a wonderful life and enjoy many adventures. There is so much pressure behind the idea of the one. But love can be found with several and made deeper and cultivated to grow.

Please note, I believe once one commits to love one then that one should be considered all.

@heherhelp: I disagree, also such love can be fostered from a mutual attraction that is quite common.

@heherhelp: It can be quite a long time. That attraction can also be fostered. Love isn't always easy. But it is good. It takes commitment and dedicated effort to continue to love when the going gets tough, as it will from time to time, but the rewards for doing so are plentiful.

@heherhelp: Oh, I wouldn't doubt that. Humans are, but they are not so broken that they cannot make beautiful things. I didn't have high school relationships. I am not that kind of person.

For that example I can give you many many of men and women who love each other deeply and continued to be committed through thick and thin. I rented a room from an older couple while I was in school for a year. I got to see their beautiful marriage in action as they cooked together, talked about their days over the dinner table, enjoyed each other's company during their tv shows.

People forget what led up to these tramatic events, these terrible results. There must be an awareness of the spark and putting fuel on the flame to be successful. It isn't always easy. But it is often easy because when you love someone it is easier to do things they appreciate. The hard moments should be the few, and the great the man. But to say that the hard moments cannot be overcome is to buy the lie that complete failure is inevitable.

@heherhelp: I know many women that want families still. I also know many guys that are okay with her focusing on her career and don't necessarily want children. I know people who have made serious commitments that run alongside their goals and ambitions and wrapped up with them making sure that one doesn't trump another.

As a whole the culture has moved away from the idea of a nuclear family. But there are plenty of individuals that adhere to that philosophy if that is what you are looking for. There are more than a handful.
